Philadelphia's behavioral health sector included 33 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. The registry reports a 0% share of the national weekly total, meaning the city’s activity rounds below the reporting threshold rather than indicating no local activity. The total includes 16 new providers this week and 20 new providers this year, with 30 individuals and 3 organizations. That concentration points to a primarily practitioner-led market, with limited organizational representation in this update.
ABA Credential Mix
Philadelphia recorded 3 BCBA providers and 3 RBT providers, with no providers listed as holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials. These credential counts overlap with taxonomy and credential reporting elsewhere in the registry and should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of all providers. The even BCBA-to-RBT count does not necessarily describe staffing at local clinics, but it does suggest that this week’s registry activity offers only a small view of the supervision pipeline. Eight providers reported multiple taxonomies, further reinforcing that some records span more than one professional role.
Workforce Demographics
The individual workforce was predominantly female: 25 practitioners, or 83%, compared with 5 male practitioners, or 17%. No providers identified as nonbinary. No organization appeared multiple times in the update, so the data does not show a dominant employer presence comparable to large multi-state ABA chains. Philadelphia’s new registrations, combined with its small BCBA and RBT counts, suggest continued behavioral health entry but a limited visible ABA workforce base, which may constrain access as demand grows.
